Cameron’s judgement “has been found wanting” on Maria Miller, says Labour spokesperson

Labour HQ has responded to the resignation of Maria Miller with a statement from a Labour spokesperson (unusually – perhaps because Miller’s resignation came at breakfast – the release doesn’t come from a named politician):

“It is welcome that Maria Miller has finally done the right thing. By resigning she has recognised that the public expect and deserve the highest standards from politicians.

“Labour said all along that you cannot have one rule for a Cabinet minister and one rule for everybody else.

“That it came to this raises questions for David Cameron whose judgement has been found wanting. Yet again he has shown himself to be out of touch and a prime minister who only stands up for one of his own”. 

This looks likely to be the line of attack that Miliband will take at PMQs later…
